Lil B Creates ‘Basedmoji’ App

September 19, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

Spotted on BET:

Lil B has blessed his fans with a new app featuring his own personalized emojis. The social media-based god released “Basedmoji,” designed and developed by himself.

The iPhone exclusive app allows B’s fans to communicate using themed characters. The “Like a Martian” rapper described it as a way “to have fun with your friends and family and celebrate the life of Lil B.”

Basedgod hopes that the cartoon-like images of him saying simple phrases like “yes,” “no” and “kool” will reach global consumption and connect him with followers around the world.

B isn’t the first rapper to feature himself in an illustrated app. Snoop Dogg allows fans to decorate Instagram photos with his Snoopify Mobile app. Basedgod’s free app is available with the iOS 7.1 software, or later (the iOS 8 dropped today).

Beyonce’s Dad Has Fathered Another Child

September 19, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

Spotted on TMZ:

Beyonce’s dad, Mathew Knowles, doesn’t need Maury Povich to tell him he’s a daddy again … a DNA lab in TX just did it for him.

TMZ obtained a copy of a paternity test — ordered by a judge in Houston after Knowles was sued by a lingerie-model-turned-real-estate agent … who claims he knocked her up in 2010.

According to the DNA test … there’s a 99.998% certainty that Knowles is the biological father of TaQoya Branscomb’s child.

Branscomb will now go after Knowles for child support … but that could be tricky. He’s already paying another baby mama … but the judge slashed his support obligations because he’s now broke as a joke after getting the boot from Bey.

French Montana Isn’t Happy With Trina’s Latest Diss

September 19, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

Spotted on TMZ:

Trina has some nerve hating on Khloe Kardashian for stealing French Montana away from her … because Trina did the exact same thing to French’s wife … so claim friends of French (FOF).

Trina’s blasting French and Khloe in a new song “F*** Love” … “You can keep that purse, you can keep that whip, you can have that bitch.”

But FOF say the song should have been called “Karma” … because she started banging French while he was still married.

We’re told French had feelings for Trina … but she was never “his main girl” … so it’s a case of no harm, no foul.

Final shot …FOF say Trina’s new song is a lame attempt to jump start her career off French and Khloe.

WOW: Gucci Mane Gets 3 More Years In Prison

September 16, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News 1 Comment

Spotted on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Rapper Gucci Mane pleaded guilty Monday to assaulting a fan who wanted a picture with him.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Tom Campbell sentenced Mane, whose given name is Radric Davis, to three years in prison for hitting an Army staff sergeant with a bottle at the Harlem Nights club in Atlanta on March 16, 2013. The sergeant walked up to Davis in the club’s VIP section.

“Rather than accommodating the admiring fan, Davis, for no explicable reason, instead, hit the victim over the head with a vodka bottle and then hurriedly left the club,” District Attorney Paul Howard said in a statement. “The victim sustained a deep laceration to his forehead which required ten stitches.”

Davis has a history of assaults and run-ins with the law.

He was sentenced in August to 39 months in federal prison for illegal possession of a firearm. At the time of that sentence, he had already spent 11 months in custody, which meant then he only had 28 months more to serve on his federal sentence.

His newest aggravated assault sentence in Fulton County will run concurrently with that sentence. It was unclear Monday on whether Davis was getting credit for the time he already served.
He was also convicted of battery in 2011 in DeKalb County and of aggravated assault in Fulton County in 2005.

That same year, Davis was charged with murder in DeKalb County after shooting a Macon rapper he said attacked him. The charges were later dropped.

He also was charged with battery in 2008 in Henry County, but the victims were apparently unwilling to testify so the case fell apart, according to the federal prosecutor at his August sentencing.

Chris Brown And Drake End Beef

September 12, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff Hip-Hop/Rap, Mainstream, News, R&B No Comments

MTV reports;

“We’re young, so it’s not like [we had] a pow wow over tea or nothing. It didn’t need to be explained. It wasn’t no problem. [Drake’s] camp actually called me to do the skit. Especially after getting out of jail, I didn’t have any animosity towards anybody. I wanted to be able to bring light to the situation and just grow up. I’m 25 and I’m not getting younger. You can’t walk around holding grudges, looking over your shoulder and being negative all the time. I’m tired of being looked at as the aggressor, so I just wanted to show my maturity.

Working on music is something we’re gonna continuously try to do and make happen. I know it’ll be a big thing for the fans if they hear a song –- but it has to be the right song, for both of us, at the end of the day. When we were in the studio [Drake] was like, ‘Oh, man, I need to have my studio like this. My vibe is a little different — I like to have a party. It’s like the club in my studio with 15 or 20 girls, a couple of my homies, drinks and everybody’s having fun. I just get the vibe off the energy from them.”

Kevin Gates and Young Thug Beef on Instagram

September 12, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff Hip-Hop/Rap, News, Southern, Trap Rap No Comments

The beef started when Kevin Gates posted a video to Instagram (above) where he reportedly called. Young Thug gay (although some are disputing that). He also complained about Thug not taking Gates’ calls. Young Thug, who’s probably tired of the gay rumors by now, quickly responded and pulled Kevin’s card, telling him to “pull up”. Both videos have now been deleted from the artists respective Instagram accounts. Hopefully these two can squash it quickly and get back to being some of the most creative rappers in the game right now.

Oh and by the way; Thug isn’t gay. Although, if he was, would it even be a big deal?

Logic Reveals New Album & Artwork

September 10, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News 1 Comment

Love the artwork for Logic’s new album Under Pressure, both of which he recently revealed to the fans. He also explains the concept, all of which you can read below. No release date as of yet.

The album title and artwork came effortlessly but it was a journey getting there. I always knew I wanted that feel you see in the detail, the half dark half bright and beautiful look. The entire album is about the two sides of myself. I could have done one of two main things when creating the album. Anyone who knows me knows I love all music, from the raw hip-hop to the fun shit they play at parties, but I decided to make a very ‘classic’ hip hop album, I wanted to RAP, my fan base is huge it stretches across the globe, but no matter how famous you get someone out there still has no clue who you are, so for those that discover me from this album I wanted then to go, ‘Oh okay I get it!’ They will immediately know who I am and understand the message in my music.

The picture you see was painted by Sam Spratt, an incredible artist from NYC. He re-created the place in Lenny’s basement where it all started. I gave him a collection of various old photos from different angles of the old place and he got it right to every last detail, so the day one fans will remember and enjoy.

As for the album titled Under Pressure is the title track on the album, I produced and wrote it while I was on tour with KiD CuDi, I had named the song ‘Under Pressure’ on the road, but it wasn’t until I came home that I realized how important the song was, it was the FIRST song that not only began the album process but showed me the direction I was going. The song “Under Pressure” has two parts, the first half is me being under pressure as Logic, while the second half is me being under pressure as Bobby. So essentially the entire album is about the duality of man. Or in this case one man growing up in terrible conditions and over coming.

Gucci Mane Gets A Small Break; Will Be Getting Out Of Prison A Year Early

September 7, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News 1 Comment

Spotted on TMZ:

According to court docs … after initially ruling against Gucci, an Atlanta judge has finally given the rapper the year’s worth of credit for time served he’s earned since his arrest for gun possession last September.

His 39-month sentence was originally scheduled to begin August 2014 when the judge made his ruling … but now that sentence will begin at the time of his arrest.

The 34-year-old’s been in and out of prison most of his adult life … with prior stints for hitting a fan with a bottle and pushing a woman out of a moving car. He was even charged with murder in 2005 … but prosecutors ultimately dropped the case.

He’s scheduled to be released in December 2016.

It looks like last night’s winner Broner isn’t the only one who exchanged blows in Cincinnati’s U.S. Bank Arena, apparently, Rich Homie Quan — who walked Broner into the ring alongside Young Thug and Birdman — got into a fight as well (check out the below video clips). Certain rumors are also stating that Quan may have lost his chain as well. Story developing (?).

Ciara & Future Reportedly Back Together

September 4, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

Spotted on TMZ:

Future and Ciara didn’t stay apart for long … and it’s all because Ciara feels strongly about her son needing his father around 24/7.

Sources close to Future tell TMZ … he and Ciara are living together again — and trying to make things work between them — so Future can help take care of their 4-month-old son, Future Zahir.

Ciara must be willing to overlook the past … since she was the one who claimed Future cheated on her while he was on tour — and then broke off their engagement last month.

We’re told Ciara wasn’t interested in a shared parenting situation … saying she believes Future’s a good father and that it’s best for their son if his dad’s there.

Chris Brown Returns To D.C. For Court Hearing

September 2, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

From AP:

Singer Chris Brown is expected to appear in a District of Columbia court for what would be a third attempt at a plea deal to resolve an assault case.

According to court filings, Brown is scheduled to appear in D.C. Superior Court on Tuesday at 9 a.m. A hearing originally scheduled for Friday was postponed.

U.S. Attorney spokesman Bill Miller declined to comment on the case.

In January and again in June, Brown rejected plea deals on a misdemeanor assault charge in an October 2013 fight outside a Washington hotel. At the time, Brown was on probation in California for a 2009 attack on his then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna.

Brown’s lawyer, Stuart Sears, declined to comment on the case Friday.

Apparently, Future’s been cheating on fiancée Ciara, and here we are. From TMZ:

Future and Ciara are done for good … the engagement is off and they are officially single … sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ.

Ciara is the one who did the breaking up … she claims he was cheating on her while on tour.

It’s complicated … because they have a 3-month-old son, Future Zahir. We’re told she has the kid and fully intends to get custody.

As for Future’s response to Ciara’s allegations … so far he’s radio silent.

Tyga & Blac Chyna Call It Quits

August 14, 2014 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

Hmmm…Trel? From TMZ:

Sources close to the former pair tell TMZ … Tyga’s the one who called it quits. It’s unclear why he threw in the towel.

We’re told Blac Chyna isn’t acknowledging the breakup — she’s in denial — and some of her stuff is still at the house.

We’re told Tyga hosted two pool parties at their home in the last few weeks (including one for Kylie Jenner’s birthday) but she wasn’t invited to either.

The couple was together since 2011 and got engaged in December of 2012. They have a son — King Cairo — who turns two in October.
